RUSTON - Last year, the Louisiana Tech soccer team earned the NSCAA Team Academic Award for the sixth straight year.

LA Tech is well on its way to picking up a seventh consecutive academic award as the team posted a 3.48 grade point average for the winter quarter.

"I am really proud of the team for continuing its high standard of academic achievement," said head coach Kevin Sherry. "I know it is something the ladies take great pride in and are a real credit to the University and their families.

"They are the hardest working group I have ever had the privilege to coach. Whether it be in the classroom, on the field or in the community with their service projects, they always give 100 percent effort and focus. They are dedicated and committed student-athletes."

Seven Lady Techsters earned a perfect 4.0.
